# How to Assign A dedicated IP to a Cpanel Account on WHM

Assigning a dedicated IP address to a cPanel account ensures that the account's domains use a unique IP instead of sharing the server's primary IP. This is useful for SSL certificates, email reputation, or specific application requirements. Here's how you can assign a dedicated IP to a cPanel account in WHM.

**Prerequisites**

- Have root access to the server's WHM.

### **Step 1: Verify Available IP Addresses**

- Log in to WHM.
- Navigate to **Home > IP Functions > Show or Delete Current IP Addresses**.
